OT: MLB Thread Part XXI: Title Still TBD

[Machinehead]

Clutch!

 

[LeetchisGod]

The performance against the Rays and Orioles this season has been embarrassing.

 

[mrmovies779]

I ran out of words to even describe this loss.Pitiful.

 

[JimmyG89]

Who to start in the Wild Card game?

I know this was posted on Tuesday, but at this rate, it could be James Paxton vs Justin Verlander.

Freaking Yanks need to get it in gear

Don't take anything for granted. Yankees are only 6 games above missing the playoffs.

Seems like things have gone off the rails for the Yankees since they took 2 of 3 from the Braves. After that series which ended on July 4, it’s been too many stops and starts.

Had a run of 6 wins in 7 games last week, but have lost 3 of their last 4

I can’t see Oakland staying this hot and Seattle has had a tendency to mess up in pennant races since 2002.

You know, guy, you're probably right. But man, do you post about anything other than why team X isn't built for the playoffs, how team Y always chokes, how the pitchers on team Z will never hold up? It's like you're in this thread to reassure everyone it will be okay because literally everyone else has a crippling flaw. I love it.

Oakland is legit good. Seattle is not.

Phillies have absolutely died in the 5th today.

 

[nyr2k2]

Joey Bats cranking a granny off Leiter's nephew is fantastic.

Mets hang a ten spot. They'll probably score ten over the next five games.

Boone will be fired no doubt if that happens

 

[nyr2k2]

The Mets need to trade Blevins now that he has rebuilt his value. Also Mesoraco, maybe Bautista if anyone wants him.

 

[SA16]

Maybe they can sell other teams on his hitting prowess.

 

[nyr2k2]

38 runs in two games? From the Mets? What the f*** is going on here?

Yup Oakland is legit. I was so wrong about them this year.

And they still have Luzardo in the minors.

 

[Machinehead]

Greg "negative WAR" Bird sucked the life out of that inning.

I'll take Bautista to play first

40 runs in consecutive games. When's the last time anyone did that? Other interesting trivia. Mets 24 runs broke franchise record set 31 years ago to the day. The last time a team scored and allowed 24+ runs in a game during the same season was 1894. Last time an NL team scored 15+ runs in consecutive games was 1933.

 

[Machinehead]

When the Yankees about to come on

 

[mrmovies779]

When it rains,it pours.Everything is going bad for them right now.Just have to keep battling and pull through it.

 

[mrmovies779]

This home plate umps strike zone is the size of Brooklyn

Second half of the season? Stanton time.

 

[darko]

Remember when Stanton was booed? He's been ridiculously good since mid May.
